Mea culpa!  The X-SAMPA table from the Wikipedia article does,
indeed, say Danish, not Swedish.  I apologize for the confusion.  Of
course, since I don't speak Danish either, I'm no nearer to knowing
how it's pronounced.  Described as an open front rounded vowel, it
doesn't sound like it would describe either <ash> or <ant>.

Mea maxima culpa!  I didn't stop to realize that there would be
members on the list who didn't understand the US state abbreviations.

For me, <horrible> is /har\Ibl=/.
